In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m joined by dietitian Kylee Van Horn and writer Zoë Rom, hosts of Your Diet Sucks, to unpack the myths and diet culture narratives that show up in running and endurance sports. Whether you’re training for a race or just adding more movement to your routine, we explore how to fuel properly, avoid common pitfalls, and approach endurance training with a more balanced, evidence-based mindset.
Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode:
-Biggest Nutrition Mistakes Runners Make
-Why Carbs Are Essential for Endurance Running
-Carb Loading: How to Do It Properly
-Sugar & Running: Fuel vs Fear
-When to Use Gels and Sports Fuel
-Fiber Timing: Avoiding GI Issues While Running
-Protein Needs for Runners (and Timing It Right)
-What a Day of Eating for Runners Looks Like
-Fasted vs Fed Running: What’s Best?
-When “Healthy” Running Becomes Unhealthy
